Scribd

Scribd is a website that I use to upload documents from my home computer to be able to access once I'm at school.
As I create assignments this year, I will upload them to scribd, and you can read them, download them, and print them from this blog. I will also upload class newsletters and provide downloadable access to those newsletters.
Here is the link:

Sometimes links do not work from a blog post. Please let me know if you're having problems. You can post a comment below or email me if things aren't working right.
